Prime member here, but I ordered on the 7th and UPS says they will be delivered tomorrow on the 10th. Hope everyone else has such luck.

These Martin adjustable wrenches are made by WF. They are high quality.

Crescent Branded adjustable wrenches were made in the US (and towards the end were terrible) then China, and it looks like they switched back to the US (ok, but not great quality).

I'd jump on this with no regrets if you need an adjustable wrench!

Just brands of adjustable wrenches, not types of tools.

Thanks guys, looks like I ordered my 3 this morning just in time... :thumbup:

I ordered 1 and received the same message last week.
Today the mail man brought a box from amazon, I opened it up and found a case of 6 of these wrenches.

Same thing happened a few months ago, I bought a box of latex gloves and received a case of 10 boxes.

why not just get a prime account? i realize its $75 a year but you get "free" 2 day shipping plus you get amazons version of netflix for "free"

I tried the free trial Prime Shipping a couple months ago. I think you get it free for 30 days, or maybe 60 days, I really don't recall.

Anyhow, between my wife and me, we ended up making a half dozen orders. I found that the "2-day shipping" is only on certain items, and out of 6 orders, only one of mine came in the 2-day mode, all the others took the normal 5-7 days. The benefit to the Prime was that the size of the order doesn't matter to get free shipping. But the 2-day thing just wasn't there for the most part.

I did not opt to spend $99 to continue the Prime deal.

It really depends on what you buy (in general).

Amazon carries a lot of a little of everything, but certainly not everything. My "groceries" are all 15% off and shipped free through their subscribe and save program (at least what they carry), and I pickup tools and electronics from them pretty often because they have a very friendly return policy. Many of these things, I can't just walk into Home Depot or Best Buy, I'd have to get shipped from some other company, and Amazon fills this niche rather well for me.

If you only buy super mainstream stuff, you're usually better off buying in stores (so to create an analogy, like Klein, Kobalt, Husky, etc). If you buy super obscure stuff (so like Nepros, Beta, etc.) only 3rd parties list them on Amazon anyways and you can't take advantage of Prime (unless they contract Amazon to warehouse the items for them). If you buy things that wouldn't be stocked in local stores, but is still a nationally recognized brand (Wera, Wiha, Knipex, etc), it works rather well. And of course when they blow stuff out, you can take advantage as well.

Same here. :(

Want one? $9 shipped to your door. If you know of a cheaper way to ship than the small flat rate box, the price will go even lower. I think I'd earn like 30 cents if I sell them at $9. Still about half price if you're interested.

Received all three wrenches and they came in two different shipments - I finally got in on one of these hot deals! Very pleased and I have always been a martin fan even though I know they contract out a lot of their stuff.

I ordered 2 and I got them today. Actually, they sent me a box with 1 and another box with a case of 6! So that is 7 for less than $6! Must have been easier for them to just toss in a case.

I'm not the only one then, I paid $3.11 for one, I didn't really need it but it was cheap, they sent me a case of 6. :dunno:

Wow, when I posted I thought it was a good deal. I guess it got better for some of you. Someone in the picking department had a few too many cocktails.

Still showing shipping quite a ways out for my order

They probably put in an order from their supplier for enough to cover the open issues. If people we getting six instead of one, they should have run out before being able to fill all of the orders.

Well I got my shipping notification today. I ordered 3. UPS shows that the package weighs 10.80 lbs. Seems a little heavy for three wrenches...
